Abstract

Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni's novel, ''The Forest of Enchantments,'' offers a compelling reimagining of Indian mythology, particularly focusing on the character of Sita from the Ramayana. Through skillful intertextuality and a feminist perspective, Divakaruni challenges traditional depictions of Sita as a passive figure, instead portraying her as a resilient and empowered woman. By weaving together mythological and real-life events, the novel creates a rich narrative that explores timeless themes of gender equality, empowerment, and the human condition.
